No pics...not good internet...

So sorry to not be able to update everyone with pictures of all the beautiful FMN kids!!  The internet service here won't let us load any pictures.

I can't wait to show you their wonderful improvements!

Our little Survivor is thriving!  She is looking so healthy, alert, but still such a tiny peanut. 
Little David is so fragile right now...he came to us with chronic Malaria and severe malnourishment, and recently was released from the hospital.  He needs a lot of prayer for his health, and to be able to put some weight on quickly.
William has been my shadow since we got here.  He loves holding my hands!  So cute!
John is always smiling!
Gracie is wanting to go go go!  She loves walking with our help.
Korpu is her normal cute goofy self!
Elvena is quiet, but LOVES to be held!
Hope has gained so much weight, she is sooo healthy.  Always smiling and talking 'baby talk.'
Junior is very attached to his foster mom, and is quite scared of us white ladies.
Gborlee is so stinkin adorable!
Surprise is still our happy boy!
Angel has gotten stronger!
Mohammed is looking like a little boy and is so adorable with his cooing!
AND...the biggest blessing I have received so far, is Eric smiled and laughed for the first time while we were visiting him!  THAT made my heart sing!!!!  This kid has a wonderful personality that has been waiting to come out.  Yahoo!

I promise to keep trying to get pics loaded...but it may not be until I am back in the states...

Our trip is wonderful so far!
God Bless,
Christina

FYI!!

I will be in Liberia all next week!

If internet is good, I will try to update the blog several times during the week! So keep a look out!

The greatest privilege I have as director of this program, is being able to love on some very special kids and see the wonderful progress they are making! 

SEE YOU IN LIBERIA!
Christina

Our amazing girl, Survivor!

Here are the updated pictures of beautiful Survivor, after just a week in Forget-Me-Not's care!

Her foster mom is doing such a great job!

Survivor's update!

Survivor is doing very well with foster mom Annie.  She's smiling and eating well! I will post pics as soon as I can!

Meet a little girl named Survivor...

I got a phone call yesterday from Josephus in Liberia, explaining about a baby girl that was abandoned and left in the arms of one of our foster moms.  Her story is a very sad one.  Survivors mom is a prostitute, had not been caring for the child, passed her off to the grandparents, who cannot take care of her either.  They heard about our program, brought her to one of the foster homes, and left.  You can see from these pictures that her special need is severe malnourishment.  These pictures break my heart...I cannot understand how a child can be so neglected and left to starve.  We don't know her exact age, we are estimating 6 months. 

We need immediate sponsorship for this precious one!  Please consider joining our FMN family and watching a child be transformed...

We now have 3 kids who need full sponsorship! Alvena, David and Survivor. If you can't do full sponsorship, please please consider a partial sponsorship.

FMN Immediate Needs...Can you Help?

FMN needs your help this month!   If you can help in any way...WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!

1. We need a laptop for the director in Liberia (can be used).  The one we had, got a virus and wiped out EVERYTHING!  He cannot get it recovered!

2. Funds toward rent for our foster homes.


3. Funds toward tires for our FMN truck.  Each tire is $150.  All the tires were blown, ON THE WAY FOR TWO OF OUR KIDS TO BE EVALUATED FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY!  We are having to park truck until we have these tires.

4. Two New Monthly Sponsors.

*A wonderful donor just donated a camera for the program!  Thank You!!!!
